No matter what plugin I try to use in the sidebar to create a vertical dropdown menu, the abundance theme styling overrides it. Either the dropdown won’t funtion properly, part of the menu gets cut off, or I can’t tell it what colors or font etc to use. I’ve tried about 8 different plugins now…jquery, flash, CSS only and nothing is working right with this theme. Disabling all plugins didn’t help and when I test them on Twenty Eleven and other themes, they all worked fine.

What code causes Abundance to take over styling of sidebar that makes other plugins not work? Can it be fixed to not override and how? Would greatly appreciate help with this. Been trying different things for a few weeks now.

P.S. Here is the dropdown menu I’m currently trying to use with this theme if you want to test it as a vertical menu in the sidebar.

It looks like the mega menu code is taking over whatever the plugin attempts to output. I’ll tag the topic for the head of support as I’m not sure what the best way (or if possible) to prevent that from happening.

Afaik you can easily remove the mega menu class from the sidebar menu. Afterwards the mega menu js and css code won’t affect the menu widget anymore. Open up abundance/js/avia.js and replace following code (at the very top):
